Complimenting Your Existing Decor
We all like to think that are our homes have unique and interesting qualities. In fact, we may choose a paint color we absolutely love, and accessories that we cannot bear to part with. And that’s where we run into problems when we are trying to make a change. A slipcover may just be the answer.
Take a moment to look around them room. Without looking at any of the upholstered furniture, ask yourself these questions:
- What do I like about this room?
- How does this room make me feel?
- Are the colors something that brings me pleasure?
- What kind of impression does this room convey?
What you like.
This can be anything from the paint color to the type of accessories. Pick out a handful of things you like, and determine why you like them. Is it truly the aesthetic appearance of how they look, or maybe the way they make you feel? With that in your mind, and if money were no object, what would you envision on the furniture? Maybe this is your formal living room that has a very traditional look, and for which a slipcover with a patterned fabric – such as flowers or repetitious ornamentation – is just the finishing, elegant touch.
How you feel.
When you first gaze upon this room, what’s the first feeling that comes to your mind? Excitement? Romance? Warmth? Energy? Now picture a slipcover that is a good match for what you like about the room. For example, if this happens to be a den or family room in which you feel warm and cozy, then a slipcover in chenille or suede that will appeal to your sense of touch is ideal. Maybe this is your master bedroom with a loveseat in front of the fireplace and upon which a beautiful velvet slipcover would be the perfect mood enhancement.
Pleasurable colors.
You should always surround yourself with a color(s) that you love. Look around the room and identify that one color that you want to see more of. It might be found in something as obvious as a large painting over the sofa, or as small as a decorative accessory on the end table. Once you have focused on that color, bring that color to life in a large way by adding a slipcover. You can do this with just one piece of furniture – perhaps the sofa – or throughout the whole room on all furniture. With slipcovers, the choice is yours, as is your choice to mix/match slipcover colors. Simply let what you have be your guide.
First impression.
Can you hear their mouths drop open as your guests enter the room? Besides everything they can see at eye level – pictures, accessories, etc. – your furniture looks like a million dollars. You’ve selected slipcovers that are the perfect fit (literally!) and match your decorating style and home’s ambience so well. The conversation is all about how you came up with this exceptional look? Of course, it can be your secret that your slipcovers are to thank!
There you have it! With just a few changes, you’ve taken your already wonderful abode and turned it into a showplace…just by adding slipcovers. It was easy. It was quick. It was affordable. And it gave you the results that far outweighed what your mind could imagine! Enjoy!
